Fifty runs till May #40

Run #40/50 - 80%: ✔

Today was the 4^th Friday in a row that I went langlaufen and I think it was by far the nicest one. As I predicted yesterday after the fresh snow, the 'loipen' were in fantastic condition and the sun was also shining, so it would have been a pity to have missed out on this opportunity. One thing I didn't count on was the extreme cold.

_{Fantastic conditions today ...}

• Weather: -9 degrees C with sun and fresh snow on the ground
• Distance: 14 kilometers
• Time: 2 hours
• Pace: 7,0 kph
• Training Effect: 2,6 = Improving

_{... but also extremely cold (my dashboard when I arrived today)}

My dashboard showed me that it was -9 and my app even went as far as -10, but I didn't notice the cold anymore once I got into motion, especially with the sun out. The conditions were just perfect.

I went for another part of the course today, which proved both extremely beautiful, but also a huge challenge as there was a large descent in this part, which is something that I'm not practised in and I also fell a few times attempting to do the descent. I injured myself by spraining something in my upper-left arm, this didn't stop me from continuing and under the circumstances I'm happy with the results. Especially as it's a new course, which I'll definitely do more in the future as it's stunning.

_{I finally got to do #5 today, really nice but extremely difficult due to the climb}

Enjoy these pictures that I made today during my course.

_{First I had to cross a bridge to the 'new' part}

_{... and then it's Welcome to Winterwonderland}

_{I'm really proud of myself making this big climb on skiis in 'Loipen' ...}

_{... This is where I came from ...}

_{... and this is still ahead of me. After the bend it goes down again. That's where the trouble started for me 😒}

Keep running, keep moving, stay fit in this cold and long winter!
